rains NITE COMBINED SAW-SET AND NAIL-PUNCH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,019, dated June 2,1885.

Application filed April 16, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBANO F. PEELMAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Kensington, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Saw-Sets andNail-Punches, which are fully set forth in the following specification,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof,and in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal side View of the saw-set. Fig. 2is an end view of the point of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal viewof the sawset on the edge a. Fig. 4 is a crosssection on the line 3 y ofFig. 1. Fig. 5 shows the set applied to a saw, in side elevation. Fig. 6shows the same in plan view.

Like letters refer to like parts.

The objectof my invention is to produce a saw-set which will not dullthe points of the teeth in setting, and which will do the work moreexpeditiousy, and at the same time form a nail set or punch.

In the drawings, a is the saw-set, formed of a piece of steel properlytempered, and provided for about one-half of its length with afish-bellied edge, 0, so as to form sides cl d.

At the point I) the instrument is formed into an oblongparallelogram,pointing, preferably, in the same direction as the edge cwith its longest sides. The upper end and remaining sides of theinstrument are formed into the usual fiat-sided octagonal form, thusgiving the fish-bellied end one less number of sides. The instrument soformed will, when of sufficient size, set the largest and smallestsawteeth.

To use this set, clamp the saw in a vise and lay the fish-bellied endbetween two teeth at such an angle to the saw as to cause the sides (Z dto press against the saw-teeth, and so that the edge 0 does not touchthe saw, hold it firmly in this position, and strike a sufficient blowupon the back of the set with a hammer. This will drive both teethoutward, and thus set two teeth at once, and without springing the sawor dulling the points of the teeth. Coarse or line tooth saws may thusbe set with the same instrument.

By means of the sides d d, as the punch is held in the hand, thelongitudinal direction of the point I) may always be known, no matterhow it points relative to the sides 61 d, but the direction of whichmust always be known to set or punch a nail into nice wood-work. Thelongitudinal direction of the point b is thus indicated to the touch.

WVhat I claim is- 1. A saw-set, as herein described, consisting of abar, a, having on one side a fish-bellied edge, c, and sides d 01,substantially as specified.

2. The combined saw and nail set formed of a bar, a, having point b andfish-bellied edge 0, with fiat sides cl (Z, substantially as specified.
